Xero NZ awarded the rainbow tick

Bringing your whole self to work isn’t always easy, especially when you are part of a minority such as the LGBTIQ+ community. Xero is always looking for new ways to support our people and create a culture of diversity and inclusion. We believe that for people to do the best work of their lives, they need to feel comfortable, supported and safe. We are thrilled to be formally recognised for the safe and inclusive environment we create for the LGBTIQ+ community at Xero NZ with the Rainbow Tick. Xero is already member of local organisations supporting LGBTQI+ workplace inclusion, Stonewall UK and Pride in Diversity in Australia.

The Rainbow Tick recognises Xero values, our inclusive culture and provides guidance and resources for us to continue to create inclusivity at Xero. This accreditation has been driven by the Diversity and Inclusion group at Xero, who work to drive our D&I initiatives.

“It’s exciting to be able to formalise something that we hope everyone already knew – that Xero is an LGBTIQ+ inclusive environment. As a country, we pride ourselves on our tolerance and inclusion, but there is always work to be done and improvements to be made. We want to commend Rainbow Tick for the work they are doing to tackle this and are delighted to be a part of it,” says Craig Hudson, managing director, Xero NZ

The Rainbow Tick accreditation is just one achievement for diversity and inclusion at Xero. We recognise that there is still work to do in the D&I space and we’re working on a number of initiatives, so keep your eye out!
